Adopting is always good. But you forgot to mention your age. Cause parenting is a huge responsibility and it is not wise to take it up if you feel you'll soon won't be able to cope up with it.

Can I be honest? I dont think a valid reason to bring a child into your life is just the fact that you think you have 'missed out' on the opportunity to raise a child.
You dont say if you have a husband/partner or not.I have to tell you that bringing a baby into your life is not going to be an 'answer' to the difficulites you have suffered in your youth and a baby is not a 'band aid' to make you feel better.You need to ask yourself some serious questions and answer them honestly
1. what environment are you bringing a child into do you have good support,loving stable partner,financial security .
2. are you completley at peace with your past or are there still problems that need to be healed first.
3. are you fully aware that a child is your responsibilty for at least the next 18 or so years and will demand a lot of you both emotionally, physically and mentally.
These are just a few of the hard questions that you need to think about seriously before considering adoption.
I do realise that lots of poeple have babies with out considering any of the above facts and they manage well however your situation is a little different in that you havent just found yourself pregnant but are choosing to bring a child into your life so you have the opportunity to think about all the consequences before you make that step.

If you want a baby and have a stable lifestyle of course it is sensible to consider adopting. Good luck.

I understand your wanting a baby, and adoption is a good thing. However please consider what happens to this child when you're gone, they are alone.
Do you have a husband? Would you consider adopting siblings so they can have someone?

you have to make compromises and sacrifices and undertake responsibilites that comes forth to any parent and on top of that you hve to deal with issues like foster parenting as the child grows older and start questioning you who his real parents are etc.
